A lifestyle column argues that “cheating” can occur even without sex or a clear emotional affair, listing several everyday behaviors it presents as potentially unfaithful.

The article, written by Tracey Cox and published by the Daily Mail/Mail Online, frames unfaithfulness broadly, citing examples such as watching a TV finale alone and continuing certain interactions outside the relationship. It also suggests the partner’s perspective matters, implying that actions may be considered cheating if they breach agreed boundaries or undermine trust.

Both outlets reproduce the same core message and examples, with identical phrasing in the provided material, focusing on “seven actions” the author says can count as cheating. The differences between the sources, as presented here, are limited to how the content is labeled or grouped by the publisher rather than to the substance of the claims.
